    December 25th, 2020 Nativity of the Lord during the Day Detail from the Icon of the Nativity, Bethlehem Welcome to St. Christopher Parish! We are blessed that you are here and have created this worship supplement to assist you in your prayer of the Mass. Christmas is a particularly special time of year. The promises of our God are remembered and fulfilled in the coming of Jesus as a mere babe. He deserves our love, affection, praise and gratitude. It is so good to praise and thank the Lord and He deserves all that we can offer Him. Thus, we encourage you to make your offering of self today at this Mass. We hope that you will receive Him with an open heart and mind. Preludes: “INFANT HOLY, INFANT LOWLY” Infant holy, infant lowly, for His bed a cattle stall; oxen lowing, little knowing Christ the babe is Lord of all. Swift are winging, angels singing, Noels ringing, tidings bringing: Christ, the babe, is Lord of all. Christ, the babe, is Lord of all! “O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM” O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by. Yet in the dark streets shineth the everlasting Light; the hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight. Entrance Hymn: “ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH” 1. Angels we have heard on high sweetly singing o’er the plains, and the mountains in reply, echo back their joyous strains. Refrain: Gloria in excelsis Deo, gloria in excelsis Deo.

    Welcome to our visitors on Facebook Live. We’re glad you’ve joined us to worship this Christmas Eve. May God’s blessings in Christ be with you. O come, O come, and be our God-with-us, O long-sought with-ness for a world without, O secret seed, O hidden spring of light. Come to us Wisdom, come unspoken Name, Come Root, and key, and King, and holy Flame, O quickened little wick so tightly curled, Be folded with us into time and place, Unfold for us the mystery of grace And make a womb of all this wounded world. O heart of heaven beating in the earth, O tiny hope within our hopelessness, Come to be born, to bear us to our birth, To touch a dying world with new-made hands And make these rags of time our swaddling bands. - Malcolm Guite Worship —December 24, 2020 — Christmas Eve Preparation for Worship The Greeting Leader: The Lord be with you.
